Behaviour of sediment-associated silver nanoparticles and their toxicity to Lumbriculus variegatus
2017
The increasing use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in industry and consumer products results in the increasing environmental concentrations of AgNPs. In the aquatic environment, sediment is the major sink for the AgNPs. The behaviour and toxicity of AgNPs in sediments is largely unknown, and therefore the potential risk to the benthic ecosystems is difficult to predict. The aim of this thesis was to study the toxicity and uptake of uncoated AgNPs (uc-AgNPs) and polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated AgNPs (PVP-AgNPs) to Lumbriculus variegatus in sediment exposures. Also, the association of AgNP-originated dissolved Ag with sediment components was studied using a sequential extraction method. Studies w…
“Congratulations, you’re on TV!”: Middle-space performances of live tweeters during the FIFA World Cup
2018
Social television has transformed the traditional role of the television viewers by providing ‘ordinary people’ access to the public stage. This article describes how public access to television affected the dialogues of Finnish tweeters on Twitter during the massive media event of the FIFA World Cup. Through the lens of digital conversation analysis, the study shows how the media publicity of tweets changed the direction of the interaction between tweeters and transformed their roles vis-à-vis the television show, making one of them into a ‘media flasher’ and the others viewers of his or her performance. The publicity was constructed as important through noticings, congratulations, and com…
Defining the accessibility of physical activity : Tracing the social dimension
2022
The promotion of the physical activity (PA) of citizens has traditionally focused on improving spatial accessibility, especially in municipal administrations. However, research evidence indicates that proximity to PA environments is not a sufficient condition for increased PA. This article presents a broader model of the dimensions of the accessibility of PA, developed in cooperation between researchers and the authorities of two cities in Finland. As a result, ten dimensions affecting accessibility have been identified: spatial, temporal, physical/technological, informational, economic, legal/ administrative, cultural/attitudinal, skills related, mental and social. A special focus of atten…
I segni parlano. Prospettive di ricerca sulla Lingua dei Segni Italiana
2008
I segni parlano perché cominciano a farsi più visibili nella società italiana: le ricerche sulla Lingua dei Segni Italiana (LIS) – avviate in modo sistematico in Italia dagli inizi degli anni ‘80 – sono aumentate rispetto a diversi anni fa, così come è aumentata la consapevolezza dell’importanza di questa lingua, non solo per le persone sorde. È una lingua infatti che sempre più persone – familiari, amici e colleghi di persone sorde, operatori, insegnanti, studenti – desiderano apprendere ed utilizzare non solo per necessità ma per avvicinarsi a nuove modalità comunicative. Una lingua che purtroppo ancora oggi sente il peso del pregiudizio e fatica a liberarsi di quel senso di inferiorità r…

Private health insurance in the universal public healthcare system: The role of healthcare provision in Finland
2023
Voluntary private health insurance (VPHI) has gained popularity in universal public healthcare systems. We studied how the local provision of healthcare services correlated with VPHI take-up in Finland. Nationwide register data from a Finnish insurance company was aggregated to the local level and augmented with high-quality data on public and private primary care providers’ geographical closeness and fees. We found that the sociodemographic characteristics explained the VPHI take-up more than public or private healthcare provision. The VPHI take-up was negatively associated with distance to the nearest private clinic, while the associations with distance to public health stations were stat…

Betydningen av Rollebegrepet i utviklingen av virksomhetsovergripende EPJ standarder
2016
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 The current offer of health care services shows that patients receive services from multiple health care providers within diagnostic procedures, treatment and follow-up care. Consequently, this entails that health care personnel across the board require access to updated information on the patient in order to provide health care. Today each health care establishment keep separate electronic health records (EHR) to which only their own employees have access. In addition, most establishments have individually adapted their records in relation to structure, access control and roles. Moving forward the goal is to provide a…
